Seed collected from this crab is from several trees growing together for the past 15 years. I have watched these trees produce Very heavy crops every year. The size of the apples is very large for a crab averaging over 1" and persists on the trees until spring. Fantastic late winter food source. Plant with Morse Yellow Crab for all season food availability. Branches are so loaded with apples that they actually hang on the ground! I would use this tree as borders around food plots, property lines and under powerlines!
